Chapter 1: It's nice to see you again…

This is insane! How am I supposed to have a normal life if my mother is the new president of the United States of America! I mean don't get me wrong I love my mom so much but there is no way I will have my used to be peaceful and normal life again if my mother is the new president. Especially now that I'm about to go to college. This is so unbelievable!

That's when Regina dramatically let her body fall in her bed after she watched the news announcing her mother's win as she became the new president of the America. Her world is just about to get crazy.


7 months ago...

Regina Olivia Mills is just a typical eighteen year old trying to get her life together as she was getting ready to go to college in a matter of time. She was so excited to finally leave her hometown Storybrooke to enter her college life and experience the world outside Storybrooke. As much as she loves this town so much she spent her whole life in this town and now she gets the chance to be independent since all her life she had been her parent's perfect little girl. She loves them so much but sometimes it suffocating her already. So that's the perks of going to college. She was really excited going to college and to finally live on her own. But one day as she walks her way home after spending her time with her friends she received a message from her mother that she needs to go home immediately because they have something to tell her. As she reads this text she couldn't help the anxious feeling inside her that's about to happen. She knows something is about to happen. So when she came home to her lovely house with her loving parents and her oh so annoyingly sweet sister Zelena waiting for her she knows this won't be a typical family talk and she doesn't like this feeling. She enter the mansion as she closes the door she hears her mother's voice.

"Oh, welcome home sweetheart! How was school?"

"It was fine. I got your text what's so important today that Zelena has to be here too?" Regina said hugging her mother.

Before her mother could reply she saw her sister with a fake pout on her face as she came towards Regina to give her a hug.

"This is still my house too you know?" Zelena said as she pulled away from her sister then playfully nudge her sister's shoulder. Yes, her sister is now a big shot lawyer in New York so it was really surprising to see her sister here now since she practically lives in New York. But before she could ask more questions she felt her mother taking her hand leading them to their living room where her father is patiently waiting for them.

"Sweetheart, I have to tell you something." Regina heard her mother's voice. And that's all Regina needed to know that this will not end well. She had learned something now that If Cora Mills said those words it means that something big is about to change in her life.

She heard her mother use those words before and look where it took them. Her mother became a senator until she was elected to be the Senate president of the congress. Regina couldn't be more proud of her mother but sometimes she wishes that her mother didn't enter politics at all because that's when it start to change her family. Before, her mother use to be just a simple housewife but being Cora Mills and her background being one of the best lawyer in the country she slowly entered the world of politics when she became the Mayor of Storybrooke after serving the town people Cora decided to take a big step in running as a senator.

The first time Regina heard her mother tell her that she will run as a Mayor she doesn't know how to react because she doesn't really know what that is in her young age so she thought that it will be fine as long as she will still have her mommy on her side. That was until Regina suffered the consequences of her mother's decision. Her mother's presence became rare for a young Regina who was so used to have her mommy always be by her side. She began to miss her because her mommy has to be at the office taking care of the needs of the citizens in Storybrooke. But what about her needs. All Regina needs was to have her mommy play princess with her again. She misses those times. When her mommy was just one call away and they were on their own world in fairytale land and it was just Regina and her mommy. But all of a sudden her mommy can't do that anymore and promised to play with her next time. Until the young Regina finally gave up on that promise.

As Regina grow up she thought that eventually one day her mom will give up being the Mayor and she can finally have her Mom back. But that's when she got it all wrong. Regina heard those words again from her mother's mouth saying she will run as a senator. She doesn't know if she should be excited or sad by the news because once again Regina wouldn't have her loving mother back to where they use to be. So she told them that she was fine by it and was excited for this new chapter in her mother's life. She excused herself from everyone going to her room until she was finally able to let herself go silently crying because she misses her mommy so much and now she wouldn't have any time for her anymore.

And now Regina found herself in the same situation again. She hates to have this conversation again it will never end well.

"What is it?" She couldn't hide the fear in her voice. She looks at her parents waiting for an answer they have a smile on their face but was hesitant to show it. She was brought out from her thoughts when she heard her mother say

"I'm running for President." Those were the last words Regina would want to hear in her life. Her mother in politics was the worst thing that ever happened in her life and now this! She wouldn't let this happen!

"What?! No! Mom, you can't do that!" Regina yelled. Her parents and her sister were shocked by this outburst. She was or tried to be very supportive of her mother so this was a real surprise to the adults.

Still shocked from what they heard Cora was the one to break the silence as she tried to calm her youngest daughter. She stood up from the couch walking towards her glaring daughter taking her hands hoping the girl would relax then softly said to her sweet girl

"Why Honey? My colleagues said that I could do it. So if they think that I have a chance at this don't you think I should give myself a chance and give it try?" This made Regina even angrier.

"Why do you always care about other people's feeling and not mine? I don't care if they think you could be the next president all I care about is when America gets their new president I will lose my mother." Regina said sadly before she broke down as she tries to control the tears that are running down her cheeks. She knows that she has no control over her mother's decision but she couldn't take it anymore. She had stayed quite all those years but not now she needs to let it out because she couldn't take it anymore.

It didn't take long for Cora when she fell on her knees to hug her sobbing child. Cora wasn't expecting this at all. She didn't know that her political decisions had been affecting Regina. She thought that this was all for Regina's future but she didn't think that her little girl's life changed when she started politics. She realized how it changed their lives especially Regina's who was used to have her mommy at all times. She remembered when she became the Mayor and her Regina would come to her office and ask her if they could play princess just like she promised but she hates herself when she has to tell her little girl that she is busy and that they could do it next time. She doesn't remember how many next time she said to Regina. While she was doing great at her profession it was clear that she was disappointing her sweet angel.

Cora pulled away from Regina taking her daughter's face between her hands she never saw her daughter so hurt and sad by her decision. She then found her voice again

"I'm so sorry sweetheart. I didn't know I was hurting you with my decisions. Everything that I do is for you. For you and Zelena. I just want you to have a good future and I thought that I could give you that by being in politics but clearly I'm wrong. So I'm sorry Regina. I love you so much I won't run anymore." her mother was now crying. She suddenly felt guilty about it. She knows her mother's passion about politics and helping people. She couldn't let her selfishness hold her back. But she needs her mother too. So she thought she would set aside herself for her mother's happiness. No matter what happens she knows that she will always have her mommy.

"No, I'm sorry too. I think you should run for president. Everyone in this country is expecting you to run so don't disappoint them. I guess I was just really scared of the change that will happen and that you'll completely forget about me when you become the president. Which I know you will be." Regina tried to lighten the mood which she succeeded when she saw a smile from her mother's.

"Oh sweetheart! That will never happen! I will always be her for you. I could never forget my angel." Cora pulled her in a hug again before she heard her other daughter Zelena

"Uh! You're such a drama queen Regina!" Which earned a laugh from her parents and a glare from Regina. The two women stood up before being pulled in a family hug.

"No matter what happens. We're a family. Always and forever." Henry said tightening the hug.


Present

A few weeks after her mother's win as the new president. In a few days her mother will be inaugurated and her mother's new position will be official. Regina was excited for her mother especially when people are congratulating her on her win and seeing the smile on her mother's face enough for her.

In two weeks Regina will be in college. She had a talk with her mother already and she hated it. Cora insisted that Regina should have bodyguards and must be watched at all times. And that conversation didn't really end well. Telling her mother she wouldn't have a normal college life if she would do that but it made Cora pushed more of the idea for Regina's safety.

"Mom, please... I don't need all those bodyguards. I can take care of myself." Regina pleaded to her mother. It was impossible to convince her mother at this point but it was worth the try. But it wasn't Regina's lucky day when her pleas where ignored by her mother again.

That was until one day Regina was called on the presidential office. They had moved to the white house now. It was really uncomfortable for Regina having so many people watching her every move. It was starting to annoy her when she was always being asked of what she needs. She can't wait to start college in a few days. Oh wait! It wouldn't be any better with all those bodyguards her mother gave her.

On her way to her mother's office her thoughts were running wild to what her mother would want to talk about.

She opened the door of the office she finally let herself in seeing her mother in this massive office was completely different than seeing her in her mother's study it was definitely smaller and more homely than this one.

"Hi mom, you wanted to see me. What is this about?" Regina said to her mother as she sat at the chair across her mother.

"Well I know you will start college in a few days so I thought about what you have been talking about and-" Cora didn't get the chance to finish when a very excited Regina interrupted her.

"Really! So you'll take away all my bodyguards now." Regina was very excited by this idea but it wasn't very long before her mother said

"No" Cora plainly said and Regina pouted at her mother which her mother just rolled her eyes at her adorable daughter before continuing

"Although I have a new idea for this. Please don't whine and let me talk first"

Regina just rolled her eyes mimicking her mother's actions as she leaned back on her chair as she gets ready to what her mother will say. "Okay" Regina huffed out.

"Well since you hate the idea of having your bodyguards around you. You will only have one bodyguard with you. I think you should not complain about this anymore. He would be with you in New York and will be staying at the apartment unit with you. Don't worry he is very trustworthy and responsible of his job. He is the son of the Head of security George. Do you remember him? They are a family friend. Your childhood friend Robin."

"Oh" that was all Regina could say. She definitely knows Robin. He was her best friend. Her first love and best friend. They met when they were younger. Regina was five and Robin was eight. They immediately became best friends when they wouldn't want to be separated from each other. That was until Robin had to go back to England and he had to leave Regina promising they would see each other again. It was a painful goodbye but Regina held onto that promise. And today was that day. She will finally see Robin again. Her Robin. She couldn't believe it. She was broken from her thoughts when she heard her mother's voice again.

"Regina? Are you okay with that? I think you can't complain with that idea anymore. Since it will Robin that would be with you. So I see no problem on that right?"

"Yes, Mom. I... think... that's a better idea." Regina stuttered her words. She started getting nervous with the thought of having Robin back. It had been six years when they last saw each other so she doesn't know if he was still her Robin.

"Well since he has arrived today. You should see him already. I'll call George to get Robin here. He must have settled his things by now." Cora said while going through her phone to call Robin's father. That got Regina's attention. She stood up with her wide eyes definitely surprise d at the idea.

"What?! Wait, Mother I think we should let Robin settle in first..." Regina said frantically. She was definitely not ready to see him yet.

Oh my gosh! How do I look?! I'm not ready to see him yet. What will I say to him?!

Regina was once again broken from her thoughts when she hears her mother saying they want to see Robin now in her office. Her mother hang up the phone facing Regina before saying

"Sit down. We'll wait for Robin and his father." Her mother brought her in different conversation but she wasn't having any of it. Her mind was still on Robin and meeting him again. She got more nervous when her mother stood up signaling Robin and his dad. She then stood up too catching the sight of a very handsome Robin.

He is very handsome! And his body! How did he became so muscular! Uhhh those arms! Puberty hit him well that's for sure. Oh my God! He's smiling at me! He's looking at me! Regina relax! You can't be seen drooling over him in front of your mom and his dad! Geez! What's wrong with you?!

Regina composed herself again when her mother introduced her to them.

"George, I think you remember my daughter Regina. And Robin I think you wouldn't forget someone who gave you a frog as a birthday present. My daughter Regina." Cora said earning her a glare from Regina. Everyone laughed at that memory but Regina didn't. She remembered that time when she gave Robin a frog as a birthday gift because he wanted a pet and Regina was just five. She doesn't know where to get a dog for free. She was just five so her only option was a frog.

Regina was embarrassed with the story that was obvious with the blush on her face. As she lowers her head saving herself from the embarrassment.

"Oh that! I think she might have made some of the guests leave because of that incident." George said while laughing.

This isn't funny at all! How could my mother embarrass me like this! She was just five! God Dam it!

"Yes, well she did try to get me a pet. I like it! Although the guests didn't." Robin said through his laugh. She looked up to see him smiling at her. Regina blushed even harder at Robin's action.

Regina felt her mother's arm around her in attempt to comfort her and save her from this situation. She relaxes slightly when she found her voice to say

"I just wanted to give you a pet. And do you know how hard it is to catch a frog! It took me all day for just one frog!" Regina said with a smile. She's starting to relax now. She is just happy Robin is here now.

"Well, thank you for your effort." Robin said with his dimpled smile. This smile made Regina's knees go weak. How much she miss that smile.

"Well, why don't you two catch up while George and I have something to talk about" Cora said dismissing the two. Finally, Regina get to be with Robin now.

Once they out of the office Regina took Robin's hand and start leading them to her room. When Robin realized where they were heading he pulled Regina back to stop her from walking.

"Where are we going Regina?" Robin said. He had to remember what his father told him.

Robin, remember this is your job now. You have to protect Regina. So you have to set aside your feelings for her first. This is for your own and Regina's good.

Those were his father's words to him. He loves Regina. But if he needs to hold back his feelings for her then so be it. He couldn't take the risk of putting Regina in danger with his feelings for her. Robin was broken from his thoughts when he hears Regina sweet voice

"Robin, relax. We're going to my room so we can talk in private. I just don't want other people watching over us. Watching our every move. It's so annoying. Now, let's go to my room so we can catch up without everyone's eyes on us." Regina said softly. She started walking with Robin again as she lead them to her room.

Once they got to her room. Regina pulled Robin inside her bedroom closing the door while she was still holding Robin's hand. She then sat on her bed pulling Robin with her in the process.

They sat in silence. Regina was the one who broke the silence between them.

"I missed you." Regina said softly. She gave him a smile. They were here now and this is all true.

"I missed you too. How have you been?" Robin replied to her with a smile while he pulled his hand away so he can tuck a strand of hair that had fallen to her beautiful face. This was still like a dream to Robin. He thought he wouldn't see her beautiful face ever again. But they were here now and this is all true.

"Good. I can't wait to be in New York in a few days to start college. You'll be there with me right?" Regina said with a shy smile on her face. Being in New York with Robin was the best idea her mother had. She would finally be in college and have a normal college life plus Robin will be there with her. Oh how much she loves her mother right now.

"Of course. I can't wait for that. It's really nice to see you again Regina." Robin said with full adoration in his voice.

"It's nice to see you again too Robin. But are you just going to be there in New York for me? Aren't you still in college?" Regina asked him thinking about the other things Robin will do while they were New York. He couldn't just be watching her all the time. While she loves having Robin there for her she feels guilty that she would hold him back with everything that is going on in her life.

"I will continue my studies in Columbia University. I'm actually taking up Political Science and it's not very easy. How about you? What does my Queen Regina be doing in New York?" Robin asked her. Which earned a blush from Regina with the name he has given her. It was what Robin would call her because she certainly deserves the name. Not just her name means a queen but Robin loves calling her his Queen Regina because she gets to be his queen. That was Robin's secret.

"Well, I'm going to Parsons School of Design. As you know I really want to be a fashion designer one day." Regina said. It had always been her dream to be a fashion designer and her family is very supportive with her dreams so they let her be the person she wants to be.

"And I know you will be. I can't wait to see the people of New York City wearing the creations of a Regina Mills. And I'm sure that I will be there when that time comes."

Robin said softly. It had been a long time since they last saw each other so today was a dream come true. He was lost in his thought so he didn't realized what happened and was surprised when he felt Regina throw her body against him. So it didn't take long for Robin to wrap his arms around Regina. They stayed like that for a few minutes before Robin pulled away from with a smile on his face.

"You really miss me that much huh?" Robin teased. That's when all he got was a shove on his chest and a soft laugh from Regina. He never he would that laugh again.

"You're lucky you're my best friend. Wait, I'm still your best friend right?" Regina asked him. She hated when she sounded so vulnerable but this is Robin they're talking she would make an exception.

"Of course you silly! I will always be your Thief as you are my Queen." Robin said. He took her hand before kissing it softly.

It was official now she is in love with Robin Locksley. She just hope that he feels the same way to her. How could she tell him about her feelings? She has to figure it out soon. Because it was now or never.
